The new movie from the director of “Aquarius” and “Bacurau” was Brazil’s official submission for this year’s Academy Award for Best Int’l Feature Film.
RETRATOS FANTASMAS
Brazil, 2023, Kleber Mendonça Filho
Culled in part from the filmmaker’s personal archive of photographs, video footage, and audio recordings, the movie looks at Mendonça Filho’s hometown of Recife, Brazil, through the lens of the downtown movie palaces he used to frequent, now mostly gone. “Critic’s Pick…A cleareyed, deeply personal and formally inspired rumination on life, death, family, movies and those complicated, invariably haunted places we call home…Steeped in Mendonça Filho’s seemingly boundless cinephilia.” –NY Times. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 93 min. https://grasshopperfilm.com/film/pictures-of-ghosts/
General admission $12; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $9.
